Qing Huan immediately couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and just wanted to thank him, but he heard the queen say: "But another day, you have to come to the palace to tell the story of this beautiful woman, and you can't be too troublesome when the time comes." The queen laughed at all the ladies in one sentence, the ladies looked at Qing Huan, their eyes were full of envy, and Shangguan Yuyou stared at Qing Huan playfully, with no sadness or joy in his eyes, and he couldn't see any expression.

The queen asked again: "Fei'er's piano skills have improved again, tell me what you want?" ”

Shangguan Yufei took a step forward and said half-coquettishly: "Queen Mother, don't reward your sons, and your sons want your mothers to be the masters." ”

The queen heard a trace of heartache in her eyes, but because of so many people in front of her, she had to endure and say: "Your child is not young anymore, and other daughters are all asking for a wishful husband, you are going the opposite way, no wonder your mother is worried about you." She glanced at Princess Xuan again: "No matter what, ordinary people are not worthy of our Fei'er, this palace will make the decision for you, and your father and princess dare not force you." ”

Princess Xuan glanced at Shangguan Yufei, but she didn't see it, and hurriedly thanked the queen for her grace.

Halfway through the performance, most of them were rewarded, and whether it was expensive or not, what the queen mother personally rewarded, that was the glory, so the rest of the people also began to perform on stage, and soon it was Lin Wanyue's turn, and she was so anxious that her forehead was sweating. Lin Wanyue is good at painting, but someone has just painted a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and it seems to be a cliché to paint it again. Qing Huan saw that she was anxious, so she whispered a few words to her, asking her to go up and paint with confidence, and paint peonies.

Originally, the queen and the others were already a little interested, after all, the performance was coming to an end, but when they saw the painting presented by Lin Wanyue, they were still shocked, and looked up at her again, as if they didn't believe that a little girl had such a painting work, and the flowers on the painting paper were beautiful, and the peony flower was located in the middle. Just look at the flowers on both sides are delicate, but they are not as good as the peony in the middle, obviously deliberately set off, as the queen, naturally know the meaning, she is the head of the palace, among the flowers is naturally comparable to the peony, only this layer of meaning, the queen is already happy, not to mention that the flowers are realistic, as if they bloomed from the paper, but also let outsiders not comment on the shortcomings. After appreciating the flowers, the queen saw the inscriptions on both sides, and on the right was "The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate." On the left is "Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." ”

"Good, good!" The queen said three good words in a row, and couldn't put it down when she held the painting: "Miss Lin is so powerful at a young age, this painting is comparable to a famous master's work, poetry is good, this palace likes it very much, this painting is to find the best embroiderer to embroider it." What reward does Miss Lin want? ”

Where could Lin Wanyue think that the queen mother appreciated it so much, and where did she still think about the reward, so she excused herself: "It's an honor for the mother to like this painting, and Wanyue doesn't dare to invite it." ”

It was not early, and the queen wanted to take everyone into the garden to enjoy the scenery, so she didn't say much, but only promised Lin Wanyue, "If he has an intractable dilemma in the future, this palace can also make decisions for you." Lin Wanyue hurriedly thanked her, but she never expected that the promise given to her by the queen would save her life in the end, but this is all for later.

The queen is in a good mood, everyone is naturally in a good mood, not to mention that all the young ladies are with rewards, chatting with each other when they walk on the road to enjoy the flowers, it is really lively. Qingxi and Qingqing's mood is the opposite of everyone, although he got a pair of red agate bracelets, but when he thinks of Qinghuan's limelight, he hates the root of his teeth, but now he hasn't gone back in the palace, so he can only silently think of a way to go back to clean up Qinghuan in his heart. However, Qing Huan didn't mind at all, chatted happily with Lin Wanyue, and explained to her the origin of the poem, she didn't dare to say that she did it herself, she only said that she had seen it in a certain book and wrote it down, Lin Wanyue was innocent and naturally didn't think much about it, and the friendship between the two quickly warmed up.

The queen sat down in the pavilion with Princess Xuan and several ladies, and let the ladies disperse to play by themselves. Yu Fei didn't know who pulled her away, Lin Wanyue seemed to have eaten too much dim sum and sat on the side to rest when her stomach was uncomfortable, and Qing Huan went shopping by herself. But who knew that after walking for a while, he was stopped by a strange lady.

"You're Qinghuan? I haven't seen you for many years, and you look more and more like your mother, and even I feel sad when I see it. ”

Qing Huan felt strange, so she asked her, "Madame?" ”

The lady wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "No wonder you don't know me, you didn't remember back then, I am Mrs. Zhongyihou, and I had a handkerchief with your mother back then, but it's a pity that your mother ...... her."

Qing Huan was taken aback, she didn't know what Mrs. Hou was looking for her, could it be that she wanted to revisit the marriage contract of the year? Qing Huan didn't dare to guess, so he saluted and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Qian, and the younger generation has seen the ceremony." ”

Mrs. Qian hurriedly helped Qing Huan up, looked at her twice, and said, "Good boy, with your stepmother's virtue, you will definitely suffer in the Prime Minister's Mansion." If you don't dislike it, you can often come to the Hou Mansion to walk around, and that kid in Jingyang ......" As soon as he said this, he thought that it was not good to mention this matter when he saw Qing Huan for the first time, so he immediately changed his words: "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, you don't have to wait for the next post, just tell the porter that it is the third lady of the Shen family, you can treat the Hou Mansion as your own home in the future, I can make decisions for you, and the Zhao family will not dare to bully you." ”

Qing Huan sneered in her heart, she has been wronged in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, why she has never seen the Hou Mansion come forward, it is nothing more than because her mother left, the Prime Minister's Mansion has also changed people, she is in an embarrassing situation and helpless, but Su Jingyang is a talented person from a famous family, even if he does not inherit the marquis, he will definitely be able to find a good future in the future, then he is worthy of a better family woman, the Hou Mansion feels that the marriage back then was very unmatched, and now Su Jingyang has become a sick and tuberculosis ghost that everyone hides from the daughter, and Qing Huan has earned face in front of the queen again, When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would naturally receive special care from Shen Yue, so Mrs. Qian thought about easing the relationship between the two families, but she didn't want to think about it, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Seeing that Qing Huan's face turned cold, Mrs. Qian was also a little embarrassed. Qing Huan didn't say anything unpleasant, just said perfunctorily: "Madame's kindness Qing Huan understands it, don't say that the Zhao family bullied me, haven't you come over all these years, and I haven't seen a piece of meat in me, now that I'm grown up, I don't need to be taken care of by outsiders." She put the word outsider very seriously, and Mrs. Qian saw that Qinghuan was not as good as she imagined, so she casually said a few words and left.

Qing Huan looked at her back and was still pondering, if Mrs. Qian really mentioned the marriage contract, how should she deal with it. Not to mention whether Su Jingyang is as rumored, even if he is excellent, Qing Huan is unwilling to marry a person without feelings, let alone a mother-in-law like Mrs. Qian, getting along with such a person, Qing Huan has a headache just thinking about it.

Qing Huan because of thinking about his heart, unconsciously walked a long way, when he came back to his senses, there were people next to him except for the rockery, and he was suddenly a little anxious, but he didn't dare to shout in the palace, so he wanted to follow his memory to find the way back, but he walked more and more chaotically, and finally simply stopped leaving, sitting on the stone to rest. When he was depressed, he looked up and saw Shangguan Yuyou leaning on the rockery in front of him.

As the sun set, he carried the light on his back, and the sunset on the horizon dyed his hair a light red, and his face was also, and the warmth around his body made him look gentle and quiet, just like Xiao Zhi in front of her.

But why is he here?

He is not Xiao Zhi, Qing Huan shook his head, smiled bitterly and was about to turn around and leave.

Shangguan Yuyou discovered Qing Huan's intentions and chased after him at a faster speed, only when Qing Huan heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, he was grabbed by an arm with a hand.

A dull voice sounded: "What are you running?" ”

Qing Huan had no choice but to turn around, retract his arm and say casually, "No?" I went the wrong way and wanted to go back. ”

Shangguan Yuyou leaned on the rockery, looked at Qing Huan playfully, and asked, "Are you sure you know the road?" ”

Qing Huan shook her head with a sad face, and when she saw Shangguan Yuyou, she seemed to chuckle, thinking that he was laughing at her.

"It's the first time you've been here, and it's normal to get lost, right?"

Shangguan Yuyou hugged his arms, and laughed out loud when he heard Qing Huan's words, Qing Huan was puzzled, it turned out that he could laugh, and he laughed so happily! Qing Huan couldn't take his eyes off it.

Finding himself staring at him upright, Qing Huan quickly lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

I shouldn't have treated you like someone else, and I shouldn't have coveted your beauty when I knew you weren't!

Of course, there are some things that cannot be said.

The corners of Qing Huan's mouth moved a few times, and he said in a smaller voice: "I shouldn't, shouldn't scold your whole family." Of course, in fact, I didn't mean to, that can't be counted, I'm angry. Also, the sugar gourd stains your clothes. ”

Shangguan Yuyou didn't care about what Qing Huan said about scolding him, but asked: "On the street that day, didn't you stop me from leaving, do you have something to say?" ”

Qing Huan looked up and saw those eyes, which were a lot less aggressive, with a moist sparkle in them, which made her almost forget the identity of the person in front of her in those eyes.

Perhaps, perhaps? Maybe it was Xiao Zhi, but I didn't know her anymore?

"Yes, yes, I want to ask you, when did you come, this time, remember me? Do you still know me? ”

Shangguan Yuyou squinted, as if looking at an alien, and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Is it the last time you asked? ”

Qing Huan was also confused: "Huh? What did you say? ”

Shangguan Yuyou's face was full of helplessness, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it." You are the third lady of the Shen family, and I have seen you twice before today, once in your mansion and once on the street. So I know you and remember you. As for when I came, I just followed you when I saw you walking aimlessly, but I took a shortcut in front of you to get here before you. ”

Qing Huan opened his big eyes, stared at him for a while, felt very lost in his heart, and sighed slowly and said, "Alas, I know." That's it, I said, how can I have such good luck! ”

Shangguan Yuyou was so angry that he wanted to laugh, holding his fists and still not forgetting to concave a handsome and compelling shape, "This Miss Shen, what happened to you today?" Or rather, what's going on every time I see you? If it's to get my attention, then I advise you, you don't have to! ”

The loss on Qing Huan's face can't be hidden, there is no way, although he looks alike, but it is not him after all!

She sighed, and did not react to Shangguan Yuyou's words, only bowed slowly and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" ”

With that, he lifted his feet and walked forward.

Shangguan Yuyou chased after him: "You are very ...... boring."

Before he finished speaking, he shut up, because he saw that Qing Huan's eyes seemed to be in tears.

"Hey, you, are you crying? What did I say, you're like that? ”

Qing Huan saw him follow him, forced himself to calm down before saying, "How can I have it, you are wrong." ”

Shangguan Yuyou asked, "Then what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, I just suddenly miss an old friend."

Shangguan Yuyou frowned, obviously not convinced: "Miss a friend?" Then you just go see him. ”

"I can't see you anymore!" Qing Huan sighed again: "He's far, far away!"

Maybe I'll never see him again!
